Guadecitabine in Treating Patients With Higher-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes

High Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome Clinical Trial

Official title: Phase 2 Study of SGI-110 in Patients With Higher Risk MDS

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This phase II trial studies how well guadecitabine works in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndromes that are at higher risk for becoming acute myeloid leukemia. Guadecitabine may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Clinical Trial Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the complete response (CR) rate with SGI-110 (guadecitabine) in patients with higher risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Overall response rate, survival, transformation to acute myeloid leukemia (AML), transfusion independence.

II. Safety and toxicity.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive guadecitabine subcutaneously (SC) on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 4-8 weeks for up to 24 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with stable disease after 3 courses are taken off therapy after 6 courses. Patients may continue to receive treatment after 24 courses if the investigator determines it is in the patient's best interest.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days, and then every 2 months. ;
